Thats what i've got - the "-f em...@example.com -bm jasper" is added by
dspam (I got it from the debug logs).

I looked in the exim docs and found:
-oi
This option, which has the same effect as -i, specifies that a dot on
a line by itself should not terminate an incoming, non-SMTP message.
Otherwise, a single dot does terminate, though Exim does no special
processing for other lines that start with a dot. This option is set by
default if Exim is called as rmail. See also -ti.
so i've now got:
TrustedDeliveryAgent "/usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -oi " # Exim
in my dspam.conf and now i don't have problems with emails with '.' on a
line.
For anyone else reading this and wondering if they are having the same
problem i've put a dot on a line on it's own after this paragraph. If you
can see it and my sig then you don't have the problem, if you can't see my
sig and the dot then you do have the problem :)
.
If you can read this you dont have the problem :)
